drawing thirty people

on friday instead of a gallery visit we just had a general drawing trip. we went to spitalfields market area, and were told to draw thirty people, who had something to do with the word 'contact'. it was quite a good place for it as there was such a contrast between suited office workers and the people from the market and arty types from shoreditch area.
in relation to the word contact i related it to how all the people were in contact with a chair, and all were drawn in a couple of cafes, which could be considered a meeting point for contacting with a friend etc.
anyway here are most of the ones i did. some where too hurrendous to put up, i may even re-do them faces is something i struggle with the most, so this was pretty tricky for me.
the thing that made it the hardest was definately the amount people move! you don't normally realise how much you can fidget and move about when sat in the same spot, people moving their arms was notably tricky. it was also more than a little awkward if they looked up and saw you staring at them, especially three times in a row or so.
